Forrest, 25, was taken in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL draft by the Rams. He was entering the second year of his four-year, $2.47 million contract and was set to make a base salary of $540,000 for the 2017 season.

He landed on the season-ending injured reserve last season due to a torn ACL injury.

In 2016, Forrest has appeared in 10 games and recorded nine tackles, no sacks, a fumble recovery and a pass defense for the Rams.
